My daughters in front of the Timpanogos temple.
Temples are the culmination of the dreams of people who loved God and longed for eternal families.I have those dreams and I love to see my family members near the temples because of the hope they give of reaching those yet unattainable dreams.
Faith is things hoped for but unseen. Temples are symbols of faith that those unseen things can become reality and the world can walk away from the vices it now embraces wholeheartedly.
The temples represent the idea that love can last forever, that we may one day see God and be part of His life and His eternal family. The temples represent a better life beyond this life, a glorious existence where the sufferings and anxiety and struggles of this life are done away and peace exists that needs no enforcement.
Some people make fun of temples, and some take them for granted. I think its because they don't understand what they really are. I think if everyone understood they would want what the temples stand for and maybe we could all reach the dream together. In God's world, there is room for everyone.
